⭐ Featured Review

One of the best Williamson movies.
by ormas β€’ 1999-08-08
9/10

"Perhaps one of the best of Williamson's plays/movies, the story is about an election eve party where the winning side is the wrong one for most of the participants. The characterization of the drunk middle-aged, middle class, and slightly socialist characters is in my opinion the highlight of the film. A must see for anyone wanting to understand Australia...."
